INSUFFICIENT!

Posted by: John Schroeder at 10:31 am, February 1st 2013     —    2 Comments »

Yahoo News:

The Obama administration is announcing a broader opt-out for religious nonprofits that object to providing health insurance that covers birth control.

The administration is allowing religious nonprofits to offer coverage that does not include contraception. In such a case, a third-party issuer will handle all business related to providing birth-control coverage for women, according to a source familiar with the changes who spoke only on condition of anonymity.

Religious groups had said the old birth-control coverage rule violated their religious beliefs. Many filed lawsuits or said they would simply not comply.

What about for profits that have a religious conscience?!  As a business owner sounds like I am still without my religious freedom.

Yet another in Obama’s ever lengthening list of non-concession “concessions.”

    Michael Gerson, in an opinion piece published yesterday in (of all places) The Washington Post aptly characterizes the administration’s “solution” as follows:

    The Obama administration’s latest revision of its contraceptive policy was welcomed by some religious people as a breakthrough, even a “miracle.” Upon reflection, it seems less like the parting of the Red Sea than a parlor trick.

    As they say, read the whole thing.

    When it comes to the Obama administration, smoke and mirrors seems to be all they’ve got. And the French adage, “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” (The more things change, the more it’s the same old thing) again comes to mind. Well given the fact that President Obama seems to be America’s 21st century version of “The Sun King” (HT to Ed Driscoll posting at Instapundit), perhaps a “Hall of Mirrors” is a better description what tries to pass as the Executive Branch these days.

    We are truly in the best of hands! With the prospect of four more years, we best heed Bette Davis’s famous line: “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.”
